Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/8671

Hello,
I want to know how I can remove a model that I have downloaded?
Is there is process or functionality or I can simply go to the folder and remove that particular model?

The location of the models are:

    macOS: ~/.ollama/models
    Linux: /usr/share/ollama/.ollama/models
    Windows: C:\Users\%username%\.ollama\models

I see entries here too
/Users/<userid>/.ollama/models/manifests/registry.ollama.ai/library/

If there is a process or functionality, it will really help

Thank you
